"Made in GER in 2000, Serial# MTM-068124, Playing Time 56:23This is AXE's 8th album (counting their 2 previous albums of re-recorded material), and it follows in the band's tradition of melodic and fairly powerful rock.AXE has experienced very little success: this is probably due to the fact that they sound like many other bands, with basically nothing that sets them apart. I find it difficult to compare them to other bands because it's like a blend of MSG/PRETTY MAIDS/BLUE MURDER/FIREHOUSE/etc.The tracks were recorded with a "live-in-the-studio" approach, but still manages to have a somewhat polished sound. The addition of talented Danny Masters on guitars helps in filling some gaps that might have otherwise occurred.If you enjoy melodic but non-commercial rock, this CD is a good investment: not spectacular, but still a bit addictive..."
